Off topic but at work it got so bad about us saying that we made a rule to only say it on Fridays. Haha

Anyway sthanks for the replies. I just put a order in for a set of 2 inchers from DK. Hopefully I'll like the results. I'm confident I will. I'll update when I get them

That's what I'm hoping to achieve. More comfort but I like my drag bars so I really didn't want to change bars and spacers are much cheaper than new risers

If you hate them, let me know! I'm thinking on getting a set soon...

Guys I'm pretty sure the newer FBs cannot do more than 1" extensions before the brake line is too tight. At least that's what a lot of threads from a couple of years ago said when I wanted to do 2" but had to settle for 1". With the 1" my brake line is pretty damn tight on my '13 FB.

This is what I read on the older posts. But nobody I could find had tried it with anything newer than a 2011. Worst thing that happens is it's too tight and I'll get the 1"

I just installed the DK 2" spacers on my 2016 FB, and the brake line is tight, still works.

I originally did some diy 1" spacers on my 14' fatbob, and it was at about the limit for the clutch cable. The 90 degree bend at the brake master can be rotated around for more length there, and there is plenty of electrical and throttle length.

I was wondering about this...so the banjo bolt can be rotated down? I think if I did that and disconnected the clamp from the top of the tree it might have enough for the 2". I really want to add an extra inch.

Yes sir. Loosen the bolt ever so slightly, just enough to rotate, and then snug it back down.
2" is going to be tight...maybe to tight?
